AN ORIENTAL spectacular featuring circus stars from China and Mongolia will be unveiled in Smethwick.

The three-day show under a 500-seater big top takes place in the town’s Victoria Park from October 7-9. The show, Circus of the Orient, stars Shaolin martial arts warriors and features trapeze artistes, gymnasts, acrobats and clowns in a packed programme.

The production has been specifically designed to visit locations normally considered beyond the reach of international circuses.

Creators Carol and Phillip Gandey said there would no compromise in the size or quality and hoped local people would support the show.
